Virus Alert: Northwest Airlines warns of bogus e-mail
Computer viruses are an unfortunate reality in the highly connected world we live in, and they are often spread through e-mail attachments. The main way to combat those viruses is to simply delete the e-mail without opening the attachment. The problem is that the dredges of the computer world are getting more creative, so it is often far from obvious when an e-mail is a phony.
I have recently become aware of a virus that is made to look like it has come from Northwest Airlines, so I thought that I should share it. It even includes fake ticket and on-line enrollment information! I know of two people who have received it. and unfortunately one of them opened the attachment and are currently sending their PC to the shop. HERE is a link with more info.
Basically, if you did not just book a flight, do not open an e-mail claiming to contain your tickets. Also, use a travel agent. ![]()
